Nets + Atlanta + Bucks trade. Who says no? What do you think @howardbeck.bsky.social

Part of why we're here is the liberal reflex to explain away the worst impulses of our neighbors. "They didn't know, didn't understand, were mislead, it was economic anxiety" etc. I get it's hard to accept that nice people can be evil but I'm not going to coddle trump voters through absolution

lmao, we are so cooked. "MTG is practicing politics the right way" no she is absolutely not, what the fuck is wrong with you? At least pretend you can't be hoodwinked this easily. Come ON

This is like the electoral version of the CIA funding, arming and training jihadists in the 1980s.

I disagree with this, and playing realpolitik games with these people is how you end up with President Marjorie Taylor Greene in 2028. I'm not kidding. Hillary Clinton's campaign helped promote Trump in 2016 thinking his candidacy would help her cause.

Then when normies (liberals and conservatives alike) found out, they went, "Well, you certainly can't be allowed to be happy without MY having a say-so" and then just... Now nothing matters. You can't use evidence or reason or empathy, all of those are discarded for christofascist bullshit.

The gender affirming care debate is a perfect example of the utter failure of liberal democracy. See, we spent decades building up evidence and convincing doctors that we were human beings who could be trusted to talk about our own needs. We got laws passed, procedures changed, people to listen.

this is the shit that makes me go full revolutionary lmao. "Liberal democracy is when we all get together and purge the undesirables."

Incredible how many liberals post about their support of trans people and then turn around and say shit like this. Fuck you. There is no right way to take away my rights, and your openness to it proves to me you are not trustworthy

Turns out they have just as many documents as it takes to indefinitely suspend the release of the worst things in there, as those just happen to be at the very bottom of the pile.

Democrats are huge dumbfucks exhibit #43291. How tf can you be so stupid as to give the federal government under Trump MORE power to arrest and imprison people? Utterly disqualifying, fuck Josh Gottheimer

You think Bari Weiss is a bumbling, evil moron? Well have you considered that she signs my paychecks? I bet you feel real dumb now, idiot

I get the meme format but like...what's the joke here?

bari is the standard bearer for the media types who think any journalism that leads the consumer toward a left-wing position must be tempered and balanced until it doesn’t.

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

One Battle After Another was phenomenal. Best movie I've seen in years. Can't wait to watch it again.

stg if Trump seamlessly transitions to Vance I'm going to snap. This guy is a giant neon sign blinking "I LOVE HITLER" but the media is completely disinterested

The connection between trans people at the top of this graph at the same time as the huge increase in anti-trans laws is such an under-discussed phenomenon. Straight men are ashamed of being attracted to us. Rather than deal with that shame, they would see to it we disappear entirely

Making up a guy to condescend to

I remember telling people in 2024 that Trump could/would do this and they all called me an alarmist. He's going to do it to adult trans medicine by 2027.

This is precisely how fascism works, by grabbing at and taking away a little more freedom whenever events lend themselves to it. Bit by bit you lose your rights, until you turn around and realize the road you're on has been long, and democracy is well behind you over the horizon.

Fuck the Democratic Party.

Shockingly, this bill would have failed were it not for the 3 Democrat defections.

An absolute bedrock institution for understanding how the planet works, just civilization-scaled vandalism by the most incurious morons on Earth

Being the director of the FBI and releasing a couples podcast while a mass shooter is on the loose is a wild choice

This is a Tim Robinson sketch lol

I appreciate the positive feedback 👍

To be clear, Vance's position is that white Americans are not anti-Semitic, it's the foreigners that white Americans say Jews are imposing on Americans that are anti-Semitic

what the actual fuck are these dumb motherfuckers doing

North Korea has renewed my faith in the Chicago Bulls

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

this gets to the fundamental lawlessness. the difference between law as a game and law as a tool of government. birthright citizenship is the law. nothing has changed. the documents are the same. if that can change based on *nothing*, you don't have a real constitution in the first place.

I guess names are biological now 🤡

Idk why outlets are saying she cited the Bible. There were 0 citations in her paper. Zero. She said the Bible said things, but she did not cite. Imagine what grade you would get in a college course if you submitted a paper with 0 citations.

"Ambiguous direct evidence" is an Orwellian all-timer. As ridiculous as "the angry happy guy" or "a conservative intellectual"

"...Newsom has vetoed our menopause bill, not one but two years in a row. But that's OK, because he's not going to be governor forever. And with the way he's overlooked women, half the population, by devaluing us in midlife, he probably should not be our next president either." youtu.be/603NmGNkfqY

"Experienced gay person" oh my God lol

So...what's going on with the Cavs? Why are they trapped in Sucktown??

You know who else was indicted out of the Southern District of New York following an investigation that was primarily conducted during the first Trump administration (and then convicted by a federal jury and sentenced to 45 years in prison)?

I know it's too easy to grow numb to the constant flood of bigotry that comes out of his mouth but it does seem morally important you don't allow yourself or anyone else to become desensitized to this vile racism as a normal part of our politics

incredibly funny how people will be like "did you see that the census bureau posted a nazi dogwhistle? their last post was 14 words long. and the value of the characters added up to 88" and then the post was "adolf hitler was very very very very very very very very very very good"

Soon small businesses won’t have to wait for Small Business Saturday to get attention from their Mayor. Some changes that they can look forward to:

a few candidates have talked about this but any Dem planning to run in 2028 should make it explicit: the next DOJ will, in fact, go after you if you’re funding this awful ballroom, or any other pay to play deals you make with this administration

I'm begging people to understand how to read a stock chart so you don't post a one day chart showing a steep drop in price that amounts to -.5%

Mick Foley every day of his life:

Mass pardons are coming. There will be no accountability without treating those as null and void. And that means a future administration taking an official position that Trump is not the legitimate president right now because he is disqualified by the 14th Amendment. The two things are inextricable.
